EXCERPT
She didn’t realize she’d held her breath until her lungs demanded air and she gasped and
grabbed Shane’s leg. When her hand grazed across his jeans, she swore she’d never felt
anything quite so supple and pliable, a well-worn fine nap not unlike the most expensive velvet
beneath her fingertips. Beneath his jeans she could clearly make out the definition of his toned
thigh. The contrast of textures overloaded her senses. “Did you know the 5 freeway and the
Golden State freeway are the same?”
He chuckled but didn’t move away from her. In fact, his dark blue eyes stared so intently that
she studied his arm tattoos. One thing about Shane was that every part of him was interesting
to look at.
